A couple questions for any Hobie 14 guys:

1. Anyone use the Jib Kit? I was thinking of adding one to my H14, not for class racing, just for downwind speed and more power going upwind in lighter air. Any trouble with the jib kit that I should know about before I spend the bucks?

2. Anyone added foot straps to the back end? I was thinking of placing a foot strap either on the hull, aft of the aft corner of the platform, or on the very aft of the platform, but I'd have to tap screws into the aluminum frame and I don't really want to do that.

I find I put my front foot on the aft corner and my back foot on the hull as far back as I can get, when I'm reaching in big wind, to keep it from a nose dive into the back of a wave, but it's slippery back there! Has anyone figured out a good location for a foot strap?
